New Travel Routes: Six Muslim-Friendly Thai Cities Unveiled, Highlighting Kanchanaburi

The Department of Tourism and the Institute for Small and Medium Enterprises Development invite travellers to experience new Thai travel routes designed specifically for Muslim tourists. The launch of these Muslim-Friendly Tourism routes on 7 October 2026 focuses on presenting Thailand from a different perspective. This project perfectly combines natural beauty, extensive history, diverse cultures, traditional community lifestyles, and the readiness of halal food. This initiative reinforces that travel is about connecting beliefs and ways of life.

Six Destinations for Muslim Travellers

This project has selected six high-potential provinces from across all regions to be the main destinations for welcoming tourists. The target areas include Chiang Mai, Kanchanaburi, Chonburi, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Nakhon Si Thammarat, and Yala. Travelling on these routes does not merely focus on visiting beautiful natural attractions, but also provides an opportunity for travellers to deeply experience the faith and local lifestyles. Various facilities in each area have been prepared to build confidence and deliver a meaningful experience throughout the journey.

Kanchanaburi and a New Dimension of Tourism

Kanchanaburi province is one of the outstanding destinations under the concept of crossing the railway towards a story of memories. Tourists will follow important historical trails whilst closely experiencing the abundant nature that surrounds the city. Along the way, there is also the integration of learning about community life and taking time to absorb the stories of the people, making this holiday even more valuable. Crucially, this city has fully prepared halal food and facilities that are attentive to the diversity of Muslim travellers.

This travel route information is highly interesting for Muslim tourists who are planning a trip to Thailand. Furthermore, it is beneficial for hotel professionals and event organisers who require information to develop services in line with the needs of this target group.
